Active and Outdoors

A long stretch of sand, coupled with ample free parking and a children's outdoor play area nearby, make Minnis Bay the perfect beach for an afternoon in the sun. 

At high tide, usually a small amount of beach remains, except at spring time when the beach can disappear until the tide moves out again.
